--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Plants </b>monocarpic or polycarpic, sometimes rhizomatous, some with secondary rosettes at base or stems branching to form new rosettes after flowering; rosettes single or cespitose, in small to very large, compact or open communities, or occasionally solitary. <b>Leaves</b> 20–90(–125) × 0.7–2 cm wide at base in narrow forms, 2–2.5 cm in broader forms. <b>Scape</b> 0.9–3 m × 2.5–15 cm diam. near base. <b>Inflorescences</b> 1 when rosette solitary, 1–many per rosette when rosettes in colonies, 2.5–28 × 1.5–7 dm at widest point. <b>Capsules</b> with conspicuous placental wings at maturity.</span><!--

|discussion=<p>Within <i>Hesperoyucca whipplei</i>, W. Trelease (1893) recognized two varieties, A. L. Haines (1941) and P. A. Munz (1959) each recognized five subspecies, and J. M. Webber (1953) recognized four varieties based on growth form. Others (S. D. McKelvey 1938–1947; K. K. McKinney and J. C. Hickman 1993) have argued that growth form in this species is highly variable, and have questioned the desirability of recognizing any infraspecific taxa at all in <i>H. whipplei</i>.</p>
